WEBVTT EXTERMINATION OF INDIANS. THE POPE CANONIZED SERRA LAST WEEK. BRIAN: A BIG EVENT IN SACRAMENTO RIGHT NOW IS THE SOLD-OUT FARM TO FORK GALA. KATHY: YES, AND DANA GRIFFIN IS THERE NOW AS FOLKS START TO ARRIVE. DANA: TONIGHT, THESE PEOPLE ARE HERE ARE THANKING SPONSORS WHO PAID $5,000 FOR A TABLE AND THERE ARE MAYBE 250 SEATS AND THEY SOLD OUT IN MINUTES. THIS IS THE FINALE OF THE FARM TO FORK FESTIVAL AND ABOUT 250 GUESTS ARE HAVING A LOCALLY-GROWN, LOCALLY-PREPARED, AND ORGANIC DINNER. THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL ATTRACTED AN UNEXPECTED 150,000 PEOPLE, A POSSIBLE SIGN THAT SACRAMENTO IS LIVING UP TO THE FARM TO FORK CAPITAL OF AMERICA TITLE. WE CAN TELL THAT STORY TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AND IT IS MORE THAN JUST ABOUT FOOD, IT IS TRYING TO BE THE LEADING VOICE ON CONVERSATIONS ABOUT FOOD-BORN4 -- FOODBORNE DISEASES. DANA: AS PRICES INCREASE AROUND THE COUNTRY, IT BRINGS MORE AWARENESS ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE LOCALLY. ORGANIZERS HOPE THAT FARM TO FORK WILL KIND OF CREATE A MOVEMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE PROCEEDS FROM TONIGHT'S FUNDRAISER WILL GO TO PAY FOR NEXT YEAR'S FESTIVAL. LIVE FROM THE TOWER BRIDGE, I AM DANA GRIFFIN, KCRA.
